As we drew back the curtains this morning, we were delighted to see the King Parkview. The scenic view complete with rolling smog ;-)
I picture of true delight for as far as the eye can see.
Breakfast was a large "buffet" room with catering desperately trying to please the international audience. Big sigh from the youngster and I, this may be a long day and thank goodness for the snacks squirrelled away in our back pack. The youngster is suddenly aware that she is the centre of attention and starts squirming around. Apparently an international rock star has arrived at the breakfast hall, cameras are out and Chinese people are starting to make a bee line just to touch or have there photo taken near the blonde haired child.
Our first stop after 5 days was to try and find somewhere to get some laundry done. After some very questionable directions from the hotel lobby, we headed off down some alleys to try and locate the laundry. So far in our travels we have not seen very many animals. So when we passed this little guy, there was a squeal of delight from the animal lover. A wry look passed between the adults as we noted that this was unlikely to be a long living pet.
After trying to have conversations with several local people about where the laundry might be, and knocking on some random doors, we give up the search and head back to meet up with the guides. First stop is a local park. It was fantastic to see everyone out exercising, young and old, people everywhere. Yep, just taking my sword down to the park to practice my moves.
Aunty Helen thought she would bust a move with some very accommodating people kicking around a large shuttle cock kind of thing. Unfortunately plenty of air swings and giggles all round. I was impressed by the efforts, as the youngster and I hung back skulking by the camera.
Practicing your writing was also a popular activity, little brush, some water and away you go.
